The feud between Labor and the Greens.

The article in this week's "The Saturday Paper" by Karen Barlow, to do with the stand-off over the governments housing policy is another example of political frustration. The fact that the government is trying to do something about the matter is good, but whether it is going to be resolved to the benefit of the nation is problematic. Both parties are first and foremost interested in scoring points regardless of the importance to us all.

Unfortunately, with both parties resorting to parliamentary chicanery over the issue nothing is being achieved.

If one has to back a side partially, one has to support the Greens apparent stand on removing negative gearing. It's just a pity they weren't on Labor's side during the Bill Shorten election campaign in 2019. Perhaps if they had been more constructive on the issue during that campaign, we would be a long way further. Instead, they were happy to stir the pot between Labor and the coalition. We all know that the coalition will always come down on the side of rampant capitalism, but of course that segments across to their own self- interest.

The trouble is that while ever we have political parties vying for government, tax lurks such as negative gearing and others, will always become legislated to the cost of the working man and lower income earners. To address this situation, become a member of the" Movement for better government"
